Original: President Trump guts the Endangered Species Act: Also, more mining claims filed in Bears Ears National Monument — Jonathan P. Thompson (LandDesk.org)

The Trump administration has moved to substantially weaken the Endangered Species Act, a law that has protected threatened wildlife in the United States for five decades. Environmental journalist Jonathan P. Thompson reports the change comes alongside a rise in mining claims filed in Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, raising concerns among conservationists about habitat loss for endangered species on multiple fronts.

Why now: Conservation advocates are reacting to regulatory rollbacks threatening wildlife protections and public lands.
